Photography Angles & Techniques: Understanding POV, Framing, & Composition

Photography Angles & Techniques: Understanding POV, Framing, & Composition

In the words of Ansel Adams, “A good photograph is knowing where to stand.” And we couldn’t agree more! You can envision a scene from a hundred different angles, but it’s figuring out which one works best for a particular image that makes all the difference. You don’t always need a great location to get a stunning photograph. What matters the most is how well you frame a scene and make the most of what’s available before you. And one thing that can render a creative touch to your images even when options are limited is trying out different photography angles. Such angles help you rethink a scene from a different point of view. Think unique, think creative. Moreover, they allow you to lay out a scene in such a way that your point of view is deftly conveyed to the viewer. This blog breaks down the different photography angles and techniques, talks about the effects they create, and discusses the techniques that could help you perfect them.
